Regulation Eighteen at Shawnee Hills Golf Course
About
Shawnee Hills is home to two different golf courses, an 18-hole regulation course and a nine-hole, par-3 layout. The 18-hole course has a front nine that plays across gently rolling hills accented with water hazards while the back nine presents a different set of challenges with more dramatic hills covered with forests of mature pines, maples, and oaks. The scenic Deer Lick Creek also runs alongside the back holes. The second half of the golf course definitely has more of a Carolina-feel to it while the front nine is more like a Florida course. The back is a bit tougher than the first half of the course, but wide fairways throughout make it a fairly forgiving layout overall, though the golf course boasts what may be the toughest hole in the Cleveland Metroparks, the par-4 fourth. This dogleg left hole plays uphill and demands accuracy with a line of trees on either side.

Golfer Reviews
Good for beginners!
Great course, very friendly staff. The bathroom on hole 7 (I believe) needs to be fixed and cleaned up, but that’s my only complaint.
Great course for beginners
I’m not very good, but this course is very well kept and still provides some challenges. The bathroom by hole 7 needs attention, but that’s my only complaint. I’ll happily be back.
Rainy days
Rain last night messed up today. Cart path only gets old after a while. Course was bottled up bad. Every one is sniffing each others butts on every hole.
Staff inside the clubhouse were nice. Starter was cool.
Front 9 is fairly easy
Back 9 is more of a challenge
Still using carts from the 90’s
If you need some where to golf on short notice, this is a good place to go. I wouldn’t be planning a boys weekend to golf here though. This is probably one of the bottom tier Metropark golf courses.
Terrible service
Terrible customer service, we were scheduled to play 18 holes and pre paid on GolfNow. When we got to the 10th hole we were told there is a league in progress and we are unable to golf. They did not offer a refund and we were stuck paying full price for 9 holes of slow paced golf due to us being placed behind a foursome that was walking.
Pace
Course was great front nine was fast but then was stuck behind a 4 some and we were a 2 some. We asked to play through and they wouldn’t let us. Need to have rangers on the course to help out.
Greens topdressed, still roll well
- Pros: fast round walking, greens rolled well despite being topdressed last within the week, fairways cut
- Cons: drainage could always be better.
Overall: walked 18 holes under $25. Fairways and rough were soggy, but only 2 plugged balls the whole round. Greens were recently top dressed, but they still rolled OK. There was someone out mowing the fairways, but because it was soggy, they only did a few holes and tee boxes. I would highly recommend this course early in the season before it dries out in July.
